The newest and rarest cuvee in the Occhipinti stable, this is a blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola, from vines in a separate plot and 40 years of age. Grotte Alte offers a beguiling fine-tannined texture.

Intoxicating scents of red and blue fruits with earthy notes fighting to come thru. A brief moment of nervousness when it enters your mouth and you wonder if this is going to overwhelm. However like a great sports car another gear shows up and its structure keeps all under control. Wonderful red fruits and a savory earthiness that lingers on the tongue. A classy wine with Burgundian undertones.

Day 1 this was a little tight, but still expressive in a pretty and elegant way like a great Vosne, soft and firm at the same time with red fruits and spice.
Day 2 was like a Chambolle with a deeper expression and a more defined presence, velvety texture, with heightened red fruits, sweet spices and more minerality.

If you have been following along I have been on a tear with Sicily the last year between Etna and Cerasuolo.
